US Airways

Today I flew into PIT and all I can think of is what PIT used to be and what could happen to CLT at any time. This link from Wikipedia sums up what happened to PIT at the hands of the airport and US Airways. My personal experience with PIT: I started traveling for business…

I’m sorry, this is again a bi-weekly recap. Recently I just seem to crash right after work so it’s hard to schedule posts or stay ontop of things. July 22: Flew direct CLT-SYR on US Airways. I was upgraded on this route, probably because I flew in the afternoon instead of the morning. Then we…

After a false start over the weekend the long awaited US Airways app is finally released. I’m flying out tomorrow so I used the app to check in. First off although I had logged into my account it didn’t seem to pull up my itineraries if I went into “Check in.” I had to type…

Monday: I thought this week was finally going to be the week I visit Maine to knock my states unvisited down to 24, but oh well. I’ll make it there one of these days. I flew into Boston and drove over to Springfield, MA. I stayed at the Residence Inn West Springfield. Dinner was down…

Unlike most workers and even many business travelers I have the luxury of living near any hub I want. I could live…

I know I bash US Airways a lot. I like Delta’s service much better and I like to point out US’s shortcomings. Yesterday’s flight from CLT to DEN was an exception. The lady working First Class (name withheld, but reported to US already) was probably the most friendly and service-oriented FA I have experienced on…

I’ve become very accustomed to Delta’s service, especially first class service and I’m up to 45 segments on them with only 21 on US Airways so far this year. Today was my first major delay in US Airways first (and it was mechanical, not sequestration FAA related). We sat on the taxiway for 45 minutes…
